Any housewife tries to delight household members with new, tasty and healthy dishes, especially in the cold season. We offer you some simple recipes for the Winter King cucumber salad for the winter. Most of the recipes are based on combining cucumbers with a variety of vegetables or interesting spicy dressings, but how do you make a winter salad right? Let's start by choosing quality ingredients.
When buying cucumbers in a store, you should pay attention to their appearance, namely: density, size and color. Thanks to these criteria, you will be able to find a really high quality product.
Density
Many housewives mistakenly think that soft cucumbers can be used to prepare winter salad, but this is not the case. Firstly, the product already has an unpresentable appearance, and after heat treatment it will not only lose nutrients, but also soften even more, turning into porridge. Secondly, such a product can quickly deteriorate, and the cans will simply explode.
The size
For salads, you can use cucumbers of any size. The main thing is that the vegetable has a thin skin. After all, the thick peel will not allow the marinade to saturate the product; it will take much longer to simmer in order to achieve the required salad consistency.
Color
For salads, cucumbers of a rich green color are suitable. It is he who makes it clear that the fruit is ripe enough and ready for use in any form. The main condition is the absence of yellow and white spots.
In blanks it is better to use fresh, green cucumbers with a lot of pimples... They must first be filled with cold water for a couple of hours. Then, despite the heat treatment, they will be crispy in the salad. Soaking will also get rid of excess dirt and chemicals used to grow vegetables.
Salt must be taken food stone or sea coarse grinding... Iodized salt softens the canned vegetables and gives them an unpleasant aftertaste.
Moreover, it is worth paying special attention to sterilization of cans and the correct storage of preservation.
Basically, winter preparations are recommended to be stored in the basement or cellar, but if you live in an apartment and you do not have such opportunities, do not despair. Cucumber salads, like other preserves, are conveniently stored on the balcony in a closed cabinet in order to protect jars with blanks from the sun's rays. In the cold season, it is necessary to monitor the temperature regime. If it is too cold on the balcony or terrace, the liquid in the container may freeze and the cans will burst. A home pantry is also suitable for storing conservation - a dry, dark place with a constant temperature regime.
It is worth remembering that salads, as well as canned vegetables and fruits, do not have a long shelf life. Therefore, after moving the cans to the cellar or pantry, it is worth attaching stickers with the date of preparation.
